A luck that Warrel deign to talk to us…


[imgr_h=295]#images#/posts/2010/06/nevermore1.jpg[/imgr_h] Warrel Dane is an incredible character. First of all, he’s a fantastic singer for Nevermore, clearly one of the most important band in metal nowadays. Humanly, Warrel seems phlegmatic, his personality composed and thoughtful. In the end, the man’s niceness puts you at ease very quickly.

When we interviewed him, Warrel was obviously knackered, a fact for which he apologized at the end of the conversation. And before I started firing questions, when I asked him if he was OK, he gave me a nervous, hesitating, “I’m OK”, before laughing of his tiredness. And yet he managed to answer our questions with a truly infectious good mood.

This interview was a good opportunity to talk about The Obsidian Conspiracy, Nevermore’s first album in five years, but also about various subjects, among which the contest our American friends of Metal Sucks organized and which was won by [url=#article=1046#]Ben Robson[/url] and his now cult video.

Nevermore Sucks


[imgr_h=223]#images#/posts/2010/06/benrobson.jpg[/imgr_h]The blog [urlb= http://www.metalsucks.net/]Metal Sucks[/urlb] is a big reference for us. Their liberty of tone knows no bound,their analyses are deep and smart, and their sense of humor is caustic. To be honest, we completely identify ourselves in their alternative approach. Metal Sucks is as disturbing as it is unifying. And to top it all, these guys regularly come up with genius ideas to keep their readers spellbound. One of their last strokes of genius was a contest involving the band Nevermore.

A few months ago, the instrumental version of the eponymous song from The Obsidian Conspiracy, Nevermore’s new album, leaked on YouTube. So the Metal Sucks guys thought: “What about a contest ?” They contacted the band with their idea: the readers would be invited to submit their own version of the song, with their own lyrics and vocal lines. The contestants would have to send a video with the instrumental track and their vocal recording. The winner would then be invited to perform their version of the song on stage with the band.

The contest was a success, and the winner was announced on May 7th. His name his [urlb=http://www.myspace.com/robotzombiearmy]Ben Robson,[/urlb] and his incredibly entertaining body language has been acclaimed by the readers. Don’t get deceived by his deliciously redneck looks (the Pittsburgh Penguins sweatshirt is a blast), ‘cause Ben is a master. Not only is his vocal performance impressive, but his vocal lines are also particularly inspired.
Here’s his video:

We wanted to know more about the Ben phenomenon and contacted him for a few questions.
